You took a shot at high noon, but that darn telephone pole just stands right in the middle of your frame. Familiar, right? Well, this has really bugged some photographers forever. Welcome to AI: Have you ever tried AI Magic Eraser from photo?
Artificial Intelligence has been acting, so to say, like a magic wand that would just remove all the unwanted objects in a photo to give the picture perfect view. No more complex software details one needs to learn for editing, as magic has come into your photo app: Abracadabra!
Then, of course, you still have all that pixel matching to make it perfect-watching the paint dry. It used to be so much more tedious, frustrating work; it was a great test of patience and all those very minute details. AI serves as your fast-forward button: it learns in an instant and just predicts what you will do.
I have once attempted to remove a seagull that bothered my beach shot, and old software let me down, leaving me with a hole in the sky where it ought to be. Nowadays, AI seamlessly fixes skies, and nobody will ever know. For goodness’ sake, who needs to pull the marionette strings-let AI do the thing.
One simply cannot imagine the creation of AI without artful algorithms. The tools scan through images to capture the very picture of the original toupee, remove undesired elements, and polish visuals with ease. Perfect, aiming to attain perfection in every sense, they envision bringing absolute freedom in creativity. Others would shoot this notion down straight away, claiming there is no place for formulae in the artwork, but is the perfect façade not what is created anyway? The point is not to claim ownership; the point is to assist. Smart assistance, perhaps, but assistance all the same. Artists have used AI, too, in ways rather different: think surreal landscapes and other non-traditional pieces of art.
